I’ve been meaning to get around to this for some time now, and I’ve finally had the opportunity to do so. What’s included in the gallery above are several New Year’s greeting cards from Nintendo developers (via Nintendo Dream’s February issue). The images feature Mario, Zelda, Splatoon, and much more. We also threw in some cards that aren’t Nintendo-based like Youkai Watch and Sonic. All of the artwork is quite nice!

Koei Tecmo has announced that its release of Hyrule Warriors has now shipped 1 million untits globally, with the possibility that the majority of those numbers are from the US.
At this time we have no data for Europe however we know that in its first month’s shipment alone of Hyrule Warriors we saw 190,00 units shipped in the US and another 100,000 in Japan. Now it seems as if we are seeing shipments of at least 400,000 in the US and at least 120,000 in Japan.
In honor of this Koei Tecmo has released wallpaper for your enjoyment. Check out the screenshots of the wallpaper below and click on the Koei Tecmo link to download your own.
Certain GameStop stores are starting to receive some demo cards for the upcoming Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. in anticipation of an unannounced distribution event. The download will take up 1871 Blocks of system memory. No word as to how GameStop stores are going to distribute the demo yet, as the demo information surfaced courtesy of some dumpster diving, but we suspect it will be quite soon given the March release date.
Nintendo is preparing a special bonus for those who purchase an early copy of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D in Japan. Those who pick up the game around launch will receive the game’s soundtrack, which was originally made available when the Wii game came out a few years ago. A similar bonus has not been announced for the west.
A new 2D action platformer is heading to Wii U. Although we don’t know much about this one at the moment, we did confirm with the game’s developer that an eShop release is planned. A teaser site can be found here.
